'Far from Home' captures the nuanced feeling of being in a place that is familiar yet somehow no longer feels quite right. The shell, resting in a glass of water, serves as a symbol of displacement—while it is surrounded by the water it belongs in, this confined space is not its true home. The delicate reflections and transparency of the glass create a sense of fragility, mirroring the vulnerability of feeling adrift even in once-comforting surroundings. This piece invites contemplation on belonging, identity, and the subtle tension between familiarity and the yearning for a place that feels truly right.
Artist Bio: In her practice, Bridgette strives to find a harmony between two distinct styles and her body of work is a meeting point between ethereal abstract fields of colour and still life imagery. Both often inspired by lived experiences, nature and her habit of collecting and curating objects. The common thread in all her pieces is a dreamlike expressiveness that invokes a strong sense of mood and feeling. She creates her works to act as portals to a curious and calmer state of mind.
